The following quotes from this story makes statements that need more factual backing up instead of the typical anti-Islamic generalizations that attempt to demonize Islam and ıts Prophet and make a whitewashed Christianity the sole possessor of the truth, all the virtues and the root of democracy when history has shown otherwise.As an American born Muslim, I believe the threat you speak to America about can also be made about Christian fundamentalism.Love, forgiveness and tolerance are also Islamic virtues but like Christians,Muslims do not always live up to the best of what is recommended. Islam does not recognize a separation of the spiritual and the civil although Muslims can live in a democratic and secular country in harmony with other faiths and beliefs. Muslims try to mold themselves usşng Muhammad as an example and to
equip themselves with the attributes of the Compassionate and Merciful Creator who is also Just and rewards and punishes here and in the hereafter. Jesus, a prophet recognized by Islam is also an example but one who is above most ordinary believers but who can also be a model for Muslims.
"By contrast, Christianity offers truth claims that sharply contradict those asserted by Islam. In asserting truth, Christianity affirms the virtues of love, forgiveness and tolerance. It may also be why, in the face of the looming threat posed by Islamic fundamentalism, America would do well to cling to its Christian heritage. Having jettisoned its Christian roots, Europe may soon find itself recast in the mold of Muhammad.

"With one set of eyes we can see Europe as a continent in spiritual crisis through neo paganism, the growing influence of Islam, the emptying of churches, secular intolerance, multi ethnic, religious and cultural ghettos, and a Christianity that is practically irrelevant to the vast majority of indifferent Europeans. The gospel has been marginalized. However with eyes of faith we can see expressions of hope that the tide is turning. Fervent prayer, creative new expressions of church, renewal in existing churches and immigrant believers from the two thirds world stirring us with their passion and faith. Surely the foundations are being laid for a fresh move of God that will see Jesus the King be honored, loved and obeyed on our continent again." Quoting Ian Nicholson.
I do think just about any article about Europe on this site has a very negative pessimistic perspective, but I do think there are many hopeful signs, and that's from someone who actually spent most of her life living there.
